Fitzroy - Carta

Outstanding meal served by great people in a lovely place

Great food , service , will be back on next visit to Fowey

I had a wonderful birthday meal! The food was delicious, and our waitress was incredibly attentive and knowledgeable. Ver carta

The atmosphere is pleasant and the food is delicious. However, since it's an old building, it can get a bit chilly at night.

Good food but cost of a meal for 2 has increased by around 50%. Whilst that’s a factor of the world we live in now, value perception is critical and has seemingly been overlooked in certain dishes.

Our bill was over £650 and, on reflection, we simply should not have paid it, the food really was that bad.

Why 3 Stars? The restaurant is stylish and the food is of high quality. The service, while not the fastest, was warm and friendly. However, the main issue is the relationship between prices and portion sizes, which felt outrageous. With only four main dishes to choose from, it was challenging to find something that appealed to other diners in my group. Fitzroy had a somewhat pretentious vibe, almost experimental, and seemed very self-involved in a philosophical sense. It brought to mind an American sketch comedy show called Portlandia (a somewhat obscure reference). One memorable episode featured affluent diners with bizarre requests at a restaurant that caters to such clientele. The warm se... Ver carta
